About this property

Updated Lakefront Condo; Close to Pool, Beach Shuttle, tennis, and fishing!

Updated Lakefront Vacation Condo With Easy Access To Everything Sea Colony has to offer: Pools, Beach, Tram service, Fitness Center, Family-friendly Activities, and so much more!

My well maintained and modernized 2BR/2BA condo with direct lakefront view makes for a perfect mix of quiet of Sea Colony West and the excitement of the Delaware boardwalks in one vacation. I bought this condo in 2011 and I invest in updates and maintenance every year so that your stay will be comfortable and enjoyable. Highlights from updates that have been made to the condo recently are:

- Replaced bunk bed furnishing in 2nd bedroom
- New walk-in tile shower in Master Bath
- New dining set on deck
- New Sofa
- New refrigerator with automatic ice maker
- Granite installed in Kitchen
- Installed New Pergo flooring in living and dining areas
- Installed New tile flooring in kitchen and bathroom

Looking at the pictures and the upgrades I've done, it should be no surprise my condo twice earned a 'GOLD' level rating from the Sea Colony realtors rental division (before I switched to personally managing the rental of my condo). I'm proud of how my property looks now so please take the time to look through the entire set of pictures.

In the master bedroom you will find a queen bed. In the second bedroom you will find a double bed with a single bunked above. Total sleeping accommodation is 5 persons.

Two of the community's pools are within a very easy walk and both are HEATED as needed; one of these pools also has a baby pool. Additional pools are a short walk or tram ride away. The closest beach shuttle stop is three units away from my condo and the tram beach shuttle (a kid favorite) stops at the end of the block. TENNIS and PICKLEBALL - the tennis center with over 20 courts and the pickleball courts (that have open play in the mornings that you can sign up for) are both less than a 5 minute walk away. The fitness center was rebuilt and expanded in 2018 and now has a larger indoor pool, fun water features for youngsters at the outdoor pool, plenty of exercise equipment, and an extensive offering of fitness classes for all levels. The new pickle ball courts are part of the family friendly amenities at the West Lake. West Lake is a very short walk away, and also includes shuffleboard, bocce ball, corn whole, basketball, a putting green and a pavilion with charcoal grills.

Guests must bring their own linens (the agencies won't let you do that) or you can book sheets for your stay directly from SheetsAtTheBeach - they have keys to my condo, they provide high quality linens less expensively than the rental agencies, and for a small extra fee they will make the beds up for you! I prefer to rent full weeks in the summer months but shorter rentals are possible in the non-prime season or for last-minute rentals.

As with every Sea Colony rental you will be responsible for purchasing recreation badges directly from the recreation association on your arrival day. These badges cost $58 per person per week in the 2026 summer months and allow access to the private beach (with life guards), the indoor and outdoor pools, the tennis courts, the fitness center, the shuttle transportation network, and other community events (e.g. the weekly beach campfire with s'mores). Unfortunately the badges are not pro-rated for shorter stays - this is one of the reasons I encourage weekly rentals.

This is strictly a non-smoking rental. Also, community regulations do not allow tenants to bring pets so no dogs or cats are allowed. For those concerned about allergies, condo owners are allowed pets and we do bring our dog when we stay.

About the host

Hosted by Rob

Host profile image
We regularly stay in our condo in the spring, early summer and fall seasons (and occasionally in the winter). This is our only rental property, so you are truly visiting our second home... On our stays we typically have breakfast overlooking the lake and have a set of favorite restaurants we frequent for most dinners. We enjoy the same recreational activities (biking, pickleball, swimming, etc.) that will make your visit special.

Why they chose this property

Through the years we have spent many wonderful vacations in Sea Colony and Delaware/Maryland beaches - some which we rented through VRBO. Strolling to Sea Colony's many amenities (private beach, free tennis, fitness center, etc.) through the meticulously maintained grounds quickly transforms us from our everyday Northern Virginia pace to a relaxed 'vacation mode' - so much more so than other areas that we decided to purchase this condo. Now we regularly bike through the town of Bethany and to their family-friendly boardwalk. A round of golf at the Salt Pond executive course provides an 18 hole experience without the typical 5-hour time commitment - it can be played in under 3 hours and has been fantastic for teaching our teenager the game.

What makes this property unique

Sea Colony - The Premier Family Beach & Tennis Resort Community - features a half mile private beach (as the neighboring towns have grown the public beaches have become increasingly overcrowded) , 12 pools (2 within a 3 minute walk from my condo), world class tennis and pickleball, two fitness centers, extensive bike-friendly paths, activities for all ages including kiddie day camps, community shuttle and year-round security. Sea Colony is ranked among Tennis Magazine's Best U.S. Resorts and by Tennis Resorts Online as one of the finest in the world. Sea Colony's oceanfront features five oceanfront pools (including one indoor) and three kiddie pools, plus exercise facilities. The beach is a short shuttle ride (or a 10 minute walk) from my condo and from the beachfront downtown Bethany is a convenient 10 minute walk meaning you can enjoy the boardwalk without having to search for parking!
